young horses in this section is Nam
brino Comet, owned by John r.

THE Catholic church at Sinsinawa
Mound (about which there has been
so much litigation) was sold last
Saturday under foreclosure of the
contractor, Leinfelden, against Bish-
op Heiss. The property was bought
in by the plaintiff for $l,925.l5.
The church is fine structure, and
has never been occupied.
The vote on Mayor, as given by
the city papers last week, was ia
correct. They were the figures as
first received by the city clerk In
the first ward, instead of Cothren
receiving l4l votes aud Tsllman
1877, it was the reverse, thus giving
Tallman IA majority in that ward,
and making Cothren's majority in
the city only Is.
NoTHING so comfortable and light
to wear as those genuine Kangaroo
shoes at Penhallegon's.
LAST Sunday was foreign mis-
sionary collection day at the NJ. K.
church, and a successful one it was.
About 1927 was raised at the morn
ing and evening services and this
amount was swelled to over $3.50 by
the Sunday school. This by far
exceeds any previous collection for
that purpose in sand church. No
more convincing evidence is needed
of the liberality and christian spirit
of our people. Rev. Pitcher may
well fell proud of his charge.
The new city council, which en-
tered upon its duties Tuesday even
ing, started out in a somewhat reck-
less and extravagent manner, by
raising the salaries of city clerk and
assessor each $50, city attorney S25,
and police $40 per month for the ID
six months Of ensuing year. Com
plant is heard over this procedure,
also with regard to some appoint
ments. In one or two instances
there are better men for the places.
But, this is Democracy, and ma.
jority seem to favor it, as they voted
that way. From a Republican stand
point, however, the cry, "turn the
rascals out" is proper.
IT will do you good to take look
at the elegant assortment of wall
paper at J. J. Hanscom 81 Co.'s

deaux, Sr., to watch for parties vio-
iating the trout fishing laws As a
result Michael Dunn was detected
